most people that I see around have small heavy duty duffel bags with handles that are the nylon straps that go under (around/underneath) the duffel bag.. anything less and the handles eventually tear out. An actual BOX can be a bad thing if you were to ever get super brave and and up rolling the jeep over.. metal is bad (rattles).. plastic is okay (becomes brittle and can become unlatched = tools on the ground = !!) .. but a duffel bag can zip up, etc etc

do a search for "tools needed for the trail" and you would get a great list of must bring stuff.. lots I would forget to pack in the excitement of a pre-trip..

Good Luck!!

I had a tool box in the back of my Grand and it drove me crazy. I ended up buying 2 small cloth tool bag at home depo for $15 and they are so much quieter.

I have a black plastic box I got at Walmart,takes up most of the rear,I use bungee cords hooked to the factory tie down loops to keep it from moveing,takes about 30 seconds to get it out.
